Collagen for osteoporosis?

Originally, I was using 'Sports Research Marine Collagen'. But I couldn't tolerate the 'fishy' smell that came through even when I mixed it with coffee, or stronger teas. So, for the last 3 months I have been using 'Live Conscious Grass Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides, Types 1 & III'. I ordered this product on Amazon after reading the following in a MedicalNewsToday article "There are many types of collagens, but type '1' is the most common in bone, tendons, and ligaments". I will let you know what the news is with my Dexa Scan in a week. Good Luck on your journey to good health!

I have been using the Live Conscious since it was called Live Well…the grass fed bovine for several years. My daughter who is a nurse practitioner researched that way back then and we all take it. I take mine in my coffee…no taste or smell…dissolves in hot liquid…..19 amino acids. I order it from their website…the more you buy at one time, the cheaper it is. I’m not a fan of buying health products from Amazon. I don’t use their scoop …probably just half of what they recommend. The amount doesn’t matter on a daily basis after a while.
I can attest to shiny healthy hair, nails like a Rhino and good skin.
I had a Dexascan several years ago….teensy bit better in some areas and the same in other areas. Since I eat healthy, go to Senior gym classes and walk daily, it’s the lifestyle and diet ….wouldn’t consider taking any osteoporosis drugs.
It works for me and, at 82, I feel great. I think this brand is a good choice. My daughter sometimes sprinkles it over salad.
